参考答案60-62: ACD

(C)

A group of college students is hoping to place a satellite powered only by water into an orbit (轨道) around the moon.

The students are from Cornell University in the state of New York. They are taking part in a competition called the Cube Quest Challenge. It is a program of NASA, the American space agency. The Cornell team is called the CisLunar Explorers. The word cislunar means ―between the earth and the moon.‖

The challenge is simple: to design, build and deliver ―flight-qualified, small satellites.‖ NASA officials say the satellites must be able to perform ―advanced operations near and beyond the moon.‖

Ten teams are taking part in the competition. But the CisLunar Explorer satellites are different. They are the only ones using water to power their spacecraft.

The idea for a water-powered vehicle came from Mason Peck, who works at Cornell University. He once worked as NASA‘s chief technologist. He has always wanted to use something other than rockets to push spacecraft beyond earth. ―A lot of the mass we send into orbit these days is in the form of rockets -- the only way we get anything into space,‖ he said, in a Cornell press release. ―But what if we could use what‘s already there? If we could do that, if we could re-fuel spacecraft while they‘re already in space...‖

The spacecraft is shaped like the English letter L. It measures about 30 centimeters in length, and the two pieces are connected. Water is stored in the lower part of the satellite. The sun will separate the water into two elements: hydrogen and oxygen. When one combines hydrogen and oxygen with a spark (火花), an explosion results. This provides a forward movement, known as thrust.

The CisLunar Explorer team has an unusual way to guide its spacecraft. The idea is to copy how old-time sailors used the moon, sun and stars to fix their position on the oceans. The satellite is equipped with cameras. The cameras will take pictures of the sun, the earth and the moon and compare their positions and their sizes. Based on where the sun, moon and earth are at any given time, the CisLunar Explorers will do the mathematics to find their position.

The competition is being held in four parts. The Cornell team has been among the top three competitors during parts one and two. The winners of the third stage will be announced in about a month. The final three winners will be announced in early 2017. They will get to ride on NASA‘s space launch system in early 2018.

63. The essential part of the competition ―the Cube Quest Challenge‖ is ______. A. to launch a satellite to take a watery flight to the moon

B. to design, build and deliver a small and flight-qualified satellite

C. to place a satellite powered only by water into an orbit around the moon

D. to make the satellite perform advanced operations near and beyond the moon 64. What does Mason Peck want to do at Cornell University according to the passage? A. To stop using rockets for the sake of safety. B. To use something already in space as power. C. To try using water in space to push spacecraft.

D. To design a water-powered vehicle to push spacecraft. 65. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. there is a lot of rubbish of rockets and satellites in the orbit these days B. a water-powered satellite will soon be sent into the orbit around the moon C. the explosion of the combination of hydrogen and oxygen provides power D. the team members of the CisLunar Explorers are the students of Mason Peck

66. What would be the best title of the passage? A. A Spacecraft Powered by Water

B. A Water-Powered Flight to the Moon

C. A Competition for Water-Powered Satellite D. A Design of Water-Powered Space Journey 参考答案:63-66: DBCA 2017年黄浦区高考一模汇总

(A)

①Did English football finally find a new star? At the age of 19, Theo Walcott came onto the scene by scoring a hat-trick for England in a 4-1 victory over Croatia in 2010 World Cup.

②Walcott‘s lightning speed and accurate shooting turned the teenager into an overnight star. Many thought he was a new dawn for the England team. He was building his fame for his fast pace, with former Barcelona manager Pep declaring that ―you would need a gun to stop him.‖ FIFA World Player of the Year winner Lionel Messi once also described Walcott as ―one of the most dangerous players I have ever played against.‖ In addition to his speed, Walcott also possessed good balance, movement and technique.

③It was symbolic that Walcott‘s goals came from the right-wing. The position had been played by ―golden boy‖ David Beckham for more than 10 years. No longer were the cheers for Beckham. The fans‘ hopes now rested on the shoulders of Walcott.

④Walcott was born in London to a black British Jamaican father and a white English mother. He grew up as a Liverpool fan due to his father‘s support of Liverpool. When Chelsea asked him to be a ball boy, he used the opportunity to meet his Liverpool idols.

⑤The teenager‘s rise to fame was not completely out of blue. He was part of England‘s World Cup team in 2006, but he did not get to play a match. He also spent over two years at Arsenal, where he was fast becoming a key player.

⑥But that year, few were expecting the wonderful performance between England and Croatia. The teenager was the first England player to score three goals in a game since Michael Owen did so seven years before.

⑦Although England was full of superstars, they had a poor record in major tournaments. But things were beginning to change. The win against Croatia was sweet revenge. Croatia was the team which knocked England out of Euro 2008.

⑧Walcott‘s wonderful performance lighted England fans‘ hope for World Cup victory in South Africa in 2010, since England had not lifted the cup since 1966.

⑨But before England fans got too carried away, our reflection on the past history told us that placing a country‘s hopes on one teenager was dangerous.

56. Which of the following CANNOT account for Walcott‘s increasing fame?

A. Fast speed. B. Masterly skills.C. Positional sense. D. Unusual family. 57. Why did the author mention David Beckham in the 3rd paragraph?

A. To show that England football once had a glorious history. B. To illustrate that Walcott could be entitled ―golden boy‖. C. To indicate that England fans were difficult to please. D. To imply that people had high expectation on Walcott.

58. In the 5th paragraph, the underlined phrase ―out of blue‖ most probably means ―________‖.

A. impolite B. unexpected C. impossible D. unintentional

59. What is the author most likely to agree with?

A. Walcott might not live up to fans‘ expectation. B. Walcott might transfer from Arsenal to Liverpool. C. Croatia might change the history of the World Cup.

D. England might be defeated by the opponent in the next round. 56-59 DDBA
